many build systems have a notion of build targets, with various target types (static/shared library, module, executable, etc.). You don't have that (which I personally find is good, but that's arguably because I'm opinio

Should have just implemented his own std::function with the simplicity and performance trade-off he wanted.

I'm more shocked of how you can have a meal for 1 or 3 dollars.

I do my slides in LaTeX because I can describe my figures as a program so I don't need to redraw things to make minute adjustments.

Does multicast over the Internet even work? I thought BGP was only for private networks.

Many people moved from Outlook to GMail. Unfortunately, GMail doesn't do it any better.

In my experience scaling dynamically just makes things slower and it doesn't reduce costs significantly compared to having dedicated resources. Resourcing dynamically is also difficult because you don't actually know upfront how m

Crypto is the new dollar, and it is very dollar-centric.

Even worse, I've seen large systems where everything was built as nanoservices.

It's just strong typing. You can do it in C++ too.

by mgaunard 1y ago
A lot of people using C++ don't actually use any libraries. I've observed the opposite with Rust. People choose C++ because it's a flexible language that lets you do whatever you want. Meanwhile Rust is a constrained and opin

Of course you can do the Rust thing, it's just taking a function object.

The whole point is to focus on the data and how it is connected, not on the rendering. You want the ability to model your figures as a program which can be tweaked and extended as needed, used as a framework throughout the deck. Drawing eve

Letting go means stopping to care. That's a slippery slope to coasting.

Good slides is about good diagrams. LaTeX has all the tooling to write high-quality ones.

Why LuaLaTex and not XeLaTex?

The rule applies to all publications, not just clickbait. The answer was particularly obvious here, without even reading the article.

I never bought a car for more than 10k. Seems like a huge waste of money.

In practice the default ABI on linux x86-64 is still limiting you to binaries that are 4G or thereabout. Not exactly a problem for LTO since any reasonable build machine will have 128GB of ram.

Only places where I've seen LTO not be used are places with bad and unreliable build systems that systematically introduce undefined behaviour by violating the ODR.

With all those missing of basic features why is it still 20k and not 10k?

I can't count the number of bad message queues and buses I've seen in my career. While it would be useful to just blame Kafka for being bad technology it seems many other people get it wrong, too.

a CAS-loop, as suggested in the message you're replying to, is certainly not wait-free, only lock-free.

There are several advantages to intrusive node-based data structures that I haven't seen stated in the article or the comments: - the same object can move between containers with no allocation and no need for a dedicated complex API -
